Reformations Old & New Tour: Exploring the Life of Martin Luther

We spent two days reflecting on the life and times of Martin Luther.

Wartburg Castle

Wartburg Castle near Eisennach where Martin Luther lived incognito as Junker Jörg after Frederick the Wise arranged his kidnapping as he feared for Luther’s life.

All Saints Church

Our guide Alexander explaining the epitaph of Martin Luther in the All Saints Church in front of where he is buried.

Sam as Martin Luther

Wait a minute? Is that Martin Luther or Sam?

An original trunk that carried the money from the sale of indulgences which acted as a “get out of purgatory card” sold by the Pope to raise money for Rome. Luther was strongly opposed to this practice.
